Mr. Ahimbisibwe Wilberforce Ongom, the Deputy Resident District Commissioner (DRDC) of Rukungiri, instructed the authorities at Kebisoni Seed Secondary School to urgently petition the Ministry of Education and Sports for the appointment of a Biology teacher.
This directive was given during his address at the handover and commissioning ceremony of scholastic materials, along with the first Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) general meeting, held at Kebisoni Seed Secondary School in Nyeibingo Parish, Kebisoni Sub County, Rukungiri District on Tuesday, April 9th, 2024.
Despite being allocated 22 teachers, including the head teacher, deputy head teacher, and other subject teachers, Kebisoni Seed Secondary School has only received 14 teachers, with the notable absence of a Biology teacher. Mr. Ahimbisibwe Wilberforce Ongom emphasized the importance of fulfilling this need, aligning with the government’s policy of promoting Sciences. He urged students to maintain the quality of the school’s infrastructure.
Ms. Kyomugisha Kellen Charity, the head teacher of Kebisoni Seed Secondary School, highlighted the Ministry of Education and Sports’ response to the shortage of Biology teachers and also raised concerns about the insufficient water supply. She mentioned an outstanding bill of over 1 million, left by contractors, which led to water disconnection by suppliers.
Responding to the water scarcity issue, Kyomukama Godfrey, the Chairperson of LC5 Rukungiri District, emphasized the necessity of water for the school’s operation. He threatened legal action against the contractors if they failed to address the matter promptly and urged parents to protect the school from such inconveniences.
Mzee Charles Kahanyi, the Chairperson of LC3 Kebisoni Sub County, expressed his delight at having the school in the area and commended the District administration for its support.
Retired Rev. Charles Biteine, the Chairperson of the School Management Committee, stressed the importance of creating a conducive environment for learning and achieving excellence.
During the PTA general meeting, Byaruhanga George Ruraka was elected as the Chairperson. Some parents expressed concerns about their children’s previous schools denying them their registration numbers.
Kebisoni Seed Secondary School currently has an enrollment of 324 students, ranging from Senior One to Senior Three.
